Application
- Concrete Floors – Ideal for warehouses and factories
- Concrete Walls
- On most cementitious products where dusting is a problem.
- Consolidation of rain weakened concrete surfaces.
- Surface hardening on aged and dusting concrete floors etc.
Advantages
- Resists penetration of oil and chemicals and deteriorating actions of salts
- Easy to apply by brush or spray
- Improves wear resistance, Dust proofing qualities and permeability to liquids
Instruction for Use
Surface Preparation
- The concrete surface must be clean, dry and free of any contaminant or coating which may interfere with the penetration of SS.
- The new placed concrete should be cured for at least 28 days before treatment.
Mixing
Add 3 parts water to 1 part FARCOTEK SS by volume and stir until a homogenous mixture is achieved.
Consumption
- Depending on the porosity and absorption of the substrate the consumption is different.
- Allow first coat to cure and dry at least 24 hours before applying second coat. Two saturation coats are usually sufficient. However, for maximum effect on doubtful surfaces a third is recommended.
